When should UAE citizens apply for their ETA?

The best time to apply for a Sri Lanka visa from the UAE is at least 07 days before their travel.

After the visa application has been submitted, it is processed within 05 hours to 03 business days. The processing time of an ETA depends on the applicant’s choice.

Sri Lanka Immigration Services creates 3 different processing time options for the Sri Lanka ETA from which customers can choose the one that best suits their needs.

Citizens of the UAE must bear in mind that they will be charged differently depending on the processing time for their visas. In addition, UAE should ensure that they obtain enough required documents before beginning their application process for ETA.
